Volumes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 of Comte de Buffon's natural history collection, covering the quadrupeds. Published in Year VII of the Revolutionary period, which equates to 1798-9. Printed in Paris, with black and white prints of engravings by Jean Louis Charles Pauquet. Sourced from a house sale in SW France, the condition of the interior pages is generally good. The bindings of most volumes are also good, though one or two are a little loose. The leather spines need attention, and one spine is missing. Each little volume measures 13.5cm high by 9cm wide. The price is for all 12 volumes.
